This is an mmorpg though - where's the "mm" part if you can solo play half the classes at once? I feel like this is just multiboxing by another name.

Modified jboots? I don't understand what "standalone game" means...

I think I'm the old man yelling at the cloud?

If you treble class cleric cleric cleric I’ll treble class warrior warrior warrior and we can play as Brad intended (RIP).

It’s a little bit more like World of Warcraft than I eq.

Like if you’re min maxing THJ basically the experience was you would have 24 hour lockouts on instances, and you would basically login to daily runs of the instances that you liked and then log out just like World of Warcraft.

In the final expansion, there were two bosses that were very difficult to defeat on your own.

The Lachlan boss, Sarah was still extremely difficult to beat on your own during planes of power and Zebulon or Zebulon or something. The boss of Plains of power was very very, very difficult to beat on your own and almost impossible to beat on hard mode.

Every boss had like two different ways you could kill it like Seru, if you killed his guards, would be a lot easier than if you killed him with all of his guards alive.

And you’d get much more loot if you did the hard mode bosses so a lot of people would group up every day with randoms to defeat the hard mode bosses together.

So the experience is much more like World of Warcraft where you play solo and then mindlessly group with randoms to defeat a boss and then you go back to soloing (or log off till tomorrow…)(or repeat the process like 10 times because the game is so much goddamn fun that you have 10 max level character characters)

Loramin, i blasted through several pages of insults to respond:

I don't think anything's happening to p99. I doubt Rogean will want to launch a new server, but he may pass the reigns to Nilbog?

But I don't think he'd walk away from his nearly 20-year project and shutter it completely. He's been working on this Daybreak project for some time, likely - and in that time we've gotten updates.. Hell, he even moved the physical server locations just a few months ago -- while he was definitely working on this Daybreak role.

THJ was just a open beta test done by Daybreak to see if people liked the multiclass system and would drop a lot of cash on it.

Good for Rogean to get paid for his expertise on classic Everquest. P99 really paid off for Rogean in the end.

P99 will eventually end one way or another. It is awesome at how long it has lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

Unless Rogean hands P99 over to someone else, I don't expect too much new stuff to happen on P99 any time soon.

Lol Rogean is getting a cut of the carebear server just for putting his name on it. It's a brand name like coca cola. Long term no one is giving their money to some freaks that are going to use their profits to cut their weiners off.
